We recently assembled a panel of experts to explore how big data changes the status quo for architecting the enterprise. The bottom line from the discussion is that large enterprises should not just wade into big data as an isolated function, but should anticipate the strategic effects and impacts of big data -- as well the simultaneous complicating factors of cloud computing and mobile -- as soon as possible.
The panel consisted of Robert Weisman, CEO and Chief Enterprise Architect at Build The Vision; Andras Szakal, Vice President and CTO of IBM's Federal Division; Jim Hietala, Vice President for Security at The Open Group, and Chris Gerty, Deputy Program Manager at the Open Innovation Program at NASA. I served as the moderator.
And this special BriefingsDirect thought leadership interview series comes to you in conjunction with The Open Group Conference recently held in Newport Beach, California. The conference focused on "big data -- he transformation we need to embrace today." [Disclosure: The Open Group is a sponsor of this and other BriefingsDirect podcasts.]
Threaded factors
An interesting thread for me throughout the conference was to factor where big data begins and plain old data, if you will, ends. Of course, it's going to vary quite a bit from organization to organization.
But Gerty from NASA, part of our panel, provided a good example: It's when you run out of gas with your old data methods, and your ability to deal with the data -- and it's not just the size of the data itself.
Therefore, big data means do things differently -- not just to manage the velocity and the volume and the variety of the data, but to really think about data fundamentally and differently. And, we need to think about security, risk and governance. If it's a "boundaryless organization" when it comes your data, either as a product or service or a resource, that control and management of which data should be exposed, which should be opened, and which should be very closely guarded all need to be factored, determined and implemented.
Here are some excerpts from the on-stage discussion:
Dana Gardner: You mentioned that big data to you is not a factor of the size, because NASA's dealing with so much. It's when you run out of steam, as it were, with the methodologies. Maybe you could explain more. When do you know that you've actually run out of steam with the methodologies?
Gerty: When we collect data, we have some sort of goal in minds of what we might get out of it. When we put the pieces from the data together, it either maybe doesn't fit as well as you thought or you are successful and you continue to do the same thing, gathering archives of information.
At that point, where you realize there might even something else that you want to do with the data, different than what you planned originally, that's when we have to pivot a little bit and say, "Now I need to treat this as a living archive. It's a 'it may live beyond me' type of thing." At that point, I think you treat it as setting up the infrastructure for being used later, whether it'd be by you or someone else. That's an important transition to make and might be what one could define as big data.
Gardner: Andras, does that square with where you are in your government interactions -- that data now becomes a different type of resource, and that you need to know when to do things differently?
Szakal: The importance of data hasn't changed. The data itself, the veracity of the data, is still important. Transactional data will always need to exist. The difference is that you have certainly the three or four Vs, depending on how you look at it, but the importance of data is in its veracity, and your ability to understand or to be able to use that data before the data's shelf life runs out.
Some data has a shelf life that's long lived. Other data has very little shelf life, and you would use different approaches to being able to utilize that information. It's ultimately not about the data itself, but it's about gaining deep insight into that data. So it's not storing data or manipulating data, but applying those analytical capabilities to data.
Gardner: Bob, we've seen the price points on storage go down so dramatically. We've seem people just decide to hold on to data that they wouldn't have before, simply because they can and they can afford to do so. That means we need to try to extract value and use that data. From the perspective of an enterprise architect, how are things different now, vis-à-vis this much larger set of data and variety of data, when it comes to planning and executing as architects?
Weisman: One of the major issues is that normally organizations are holding two orders of magnitude more data then they need. It's an huge overhead, both in terms of the applications architecture that has a code basis, larger than it should be, and also from the technology architecture that is supporting a horrendous number of servers and a whole bunch of technology stuff that they don't need.
The issue for the architect is to figure out as what data is useful, institute a governance process, so that you can have data lifecycle management, have a proper disposition, focus the organization on information data and knowledge that is basically going to provide business value to the organization, and help them innovate and have a competitive advantage.
Can't afford it
And in terms of government, just improve service delivery, because there's waste right now on information infrastructure, and we can't afford it anymore.
Gardner: So it's difficult to know what to keep and what not to keep. I've actually spoken to a few people lately who want to keep everything, just because they want to mine it, and they are willing to spend the money and effort to do that.
Jim Hietala, when people do get to this point of trying to decide what to keep, what not to keep, and how to architect properly for that, they also need to factor in security. It shouldn't become later in the process. It should come early. What are some of the precepts that you think are important in applying good security practices to big data?
Hietala: One of the big challenges is that many of the big-data platforms weren't built from the get-go with security in mind. So some of the controls that you've had available in your relational databases, for instance, you move over to the big data platforms and the access control authorizations and mechanisms are not there today.
Planning the architecture, looking at bringing in third-party controls to give you the security mechanisms that you are used to in your older platforms, is something that organizations are going to have to do. It's really an evolving and emerging thing at this point.
Gardner: There are a lot of unknown unknowns out there, as we discovered with our tweet chat last month. Some people think that the data is just data, and you apply the same security to it. Do you think that's the case with big data? Is it just another follow-through of what you always did with data in the first place?
Hietala: I would say yes, at a conceptual level, but it's like what we saw with virtualization. When there was a mad rush to virtualize everything, many of those traditional security controls didn't translate directly into the virtualized world. The same thing is true with big data.
When you're talking about those volumes of data, applying encryption, applying various security controls, you have to think about how those things are going to scale? That may require new solutions from new technologies and that sort of thing.
Gardner: Chris Gerty, when it comes to that governance, security, and access control, are there any lessons that you've learned that you are aware of in terms of the best of openness, but also with the ability to manage the spigot?
Gerty: Spigot is probably a dangerous term to use, because it implies that all data is treated the same. The sooner that you can tag the data as either sensitive or not, mostly coming from the person or team that's developed or originated the data, the better.
Kicking the can
Once you have it on a hard drive, once you get crazy about storing everything, if you don't know where it came from, you're forced to put it into a secure environment. And that's just kicking the can down the road. It's really a disservice to people who might use the data in a useful way to address their problems.
We constantly have satellites that are made for one purpose. They send all the data down. It's controlled either for security or for intellectual property (IP), so someone can write a paper. Then, after the project doesn't get funded or it just comes to a nice graceful close, there is that extra step, which is almost a responsibility of the originators, to make it useful to the rest of the world.
Gardner: Let's look at big data through the lens of some other major trends right now. Let's start with cloud. You mentioned that at NASA, you have your own private cloud that you're using a lot, of course, but you're also now dabbling in commercial and public clouds. Frankly, the price points that these cloud providers are offering for storage and data services are pretty compelling.
So we should expect more data to go to the cloud. Bob, from your perspective, as organizations and architects have to think about data in this hybrid cloud on-premises off-premises, moving back and forth, what do you think enterprise architects need to start thinking about in terms of managing that, planning for the right destination of data, based on the right mix of other requirements?
Weisman: It's a good question. As you said, the price point is compelling, but the security and privacy of the information is something else that has to be taken into account. Where is that information going to reside? You have to have very stringent service-level agreements (SLAs) and in certain cases, you might say it's a price point that's compelling, but the risk analysis that I have done means that I'm going to have to set up my own private cloud.
Right now, everybody's saying is the public cloud is going to be the way to go. Vendors are going to have to be very sensitive to that and many are, at this point in time, addressing a lot of the needs of some of the large client basis. So it's not one-size-fits-all and it's more than just a price for service. Architecture can bring down the price pretty dramatically, even within an enterprise.
Gardner: Andras, how do the cloud and big data come together in a way that's intriguing to you?
Szakal: Actually it's a great question. We could take the rest of the 22 minutes talking on this one question. I helped lead the President's Commission on big data that Steve Mills from IBM and -- I forget the name of the executive from SAP -- led. We intentionally tried to separate cloud from big data architecture, primarily because we don't believe that, in all cases, cloud is the answer to all things big data. You have to define the architecture that's appropriate for your business needs.
However, it also depends on where the data is born. Take many of the investments IBM has made into enterprise market management, for example, Coremetrics, several of these services that we now offer for helping customers understand deep insight into how their retail market or supply chain behaves.
Born in the cloud
All of that information is born in the cloud. But if you're talking about actually using cloud as infrastructure and moving around huge sums of data or constructing some of these solutions on your own, then some of the ideas that Bob conveyed are absolutely applicable.
I think it becomes prohibitive to do that and easier to stand up a hybrid environment for managing the amount of data. But I think that you have to think about whether your data is real-time data, whether it's data that you could apply some of these new technologies like Hadoop to, Hadoop MapReduce-type solutions, or whether it's traditional data warehousing.
Data warehouses are going to continue to exist and they're going to continue to evolve technologically. You're always going to use a subset of data in those data warehouses, and it's going to be an applicable technology for many years to come.
Gardner: So suffice it to say, an enterprise architect who is well versed in both cloud infrastructure requirements, technologies, and methods, as well as big data, will probably be in quite high demand. That specialization in one or the other isn't as valuable as being able to cross-pollinate between them.
Szakal: Absolutely. It's enabling our architects and finding deep individuals who have this unique set of skills, analytics, mathematics, and business. Those individuals are going to be the future architects of the IT world, because analytics and big data are going to be integrated into everything that we do and become part of the business processing.
Gardner: Well, that's a great segue to the next topic that I am interested in, and it's around mobility as a trend and also application development. The reason I lump them together is that I increasingly see developers being tasked with mobile first.
When you create a new app, you have to remember that this is going to run in the mobile tier and you want to make sure that the requirements, the UI, and the complexity of that app don't go beyond the ability of the mobile app and the mobile user. This is interesting to me, because data now has a different relationship with apps.
We used to think of apps as creating data and then the data would be stored and it might be used or integrated. Now, we have applications that are simply there in order to present the data and we have the ability now to present it to those mobile devices in the mobile tier, which means it goes anywhere, everywhere all the time.
Let me start with you Jim, because it's security and risk, but it's also just rethinking the way we use data in a mobile tier. If we can do it safely, and that's a big IF, how important should it be for organizations to start thinking about making this data available to all of these devices and just pour out into that mobile tier as possible?
Hietala: In terms of enabling the business, it's very important. There are a lot of benefits that accrue from accessing your data from whatever device you happen to be on. To me, it is that question of "if," because now there's a whole lot of problems to be solved relative to the data floating around anywhere on Android, iOS, whatever the platform is, and the organization being able to lock down their data on those devices, forgetting about whether it's the organization device or my device. There's a set of issues around that that the security industry is just starting to get their arms around today.
Mobile ability
Gardner: Chris, any thoughts about this mobile ability that the data gets more valuable the more you can use it and apply it, and then the more you can apply it, the more data you generate that makes the data more valuable, and we start getting into that positive feedback loop?
Gerty: Absolutely. It's almost an appreciation of what more people could do and get to the problem. We're getting to the point where, if it's available on your desktop, you're going to find a way to make it available on your device.
That same security questions probably need to be answered anyway, but making it mobile compatible is almost an acknowledgment that there will be someone who wants to use it. So let me go that extra step to make it compatible and see what I get from them. It's more of a cultural benefit that you get from making things compatible with mobile.
Gardner: Any thoughts about what developers should be thinking by trying to bring the fruits of big data through these analytics to more users rather than just the BI folks or those that are good at SQL queries? Does this change the game by actually making an application on a mobile device, simple, powerful but accessing this real time updated treasure trove of data?
Gerty: I always think of the astronaut on the moon. He's got a big, bulky glove and he might have a heads-up display in front of him, but he really needs to know exactly a certain piece of information at the right moment, dealing with bandwidth issues, dealing with the environment, foggy helmet wherever.
It's very analogous to what the day-to-day professional will use trying to find out that quick e-mail he needs to know or which meeting to go to -- which one is more important -- and it all comes down to putting your developer in the shoes of the user. So anytime you can get interaction between the two, that's valuable.
Weisman: From an enterprise architecture point of view my background is mainly defense and government, but defense mobile computing has been around for decades. So you've always been dealing with that.
The main thing is that in many cases, if they're coming up with information, the whole presentation layer is turning into another architecture domain with information visualization and also with your security controls, with an integrated identity management capability.
It's like you were saying about astronaut getting it right. He doesn't need to know everything that's happening in the world. He needs to know about his heads-up display, the stuff that's relevant to him.
So it's getting the right information to person in an authorized manner, in a way that he can visualize and make sense of that information, be it straight data, analytics, or whatever. The presentation layer, ergonomics, visual communication are going to become very important in the future for that. There are also a lot of problems. Rather than doing it at the application level, you're doing it entirely in one layer.
Governance and security
Gardner: So clearly the implications of data are cutting across how we think about security, how we think about UI, how we factor in mobility. What we now think about in terms of governance and security, we have to do differently than we did with older data models.
Jim Hietala, what about the impact on spurring people towards more virtualized desktop delivery, if you don't want to have the date on that end device, if you want solve some of the issues about control and governance, and if you want to be able to manage just how much data gets into that UI, not too much not too little.
Do you think that some of these concerns that we're addressing will push people to look even harder, maybe more aggressive in how they go to desktop and application virtualization, as they say, keep it on the server, deliver out just the deltas?
Hietala: That's an interesting point. I've run across a startup in the last month or two that is doing is that. The whole value proposition is to virtualize the environment. You get virtual gold images. You don't have to worry about what's actually happening on the physical device and you know when the devices connect. The security threat goes away. So we may see more of that as a solution to that.
Gardner: Andras, do you see that that some of the implications of big data, far fetched as it may be, are propelling people to cultivate their servers more and virtualize their apps, their data, and their desktop right up to the end devices?
Szakal: Yeah, I do. I see IBM providing solutions for virtual desktop, but I think it was really a security question you were asking. You're certainly going to see an additional number of virtualized desktop environments.
Ultimately, our network still is not stable enough or at a high enough bandwidth to really make that useful exercise for all but the most menial users in the enterprise. From a security point of view, there is a lot to be still solved.
And part of the challenge in the cloud environment that we see today is the proliferation of virtual machines (VMs) and the inability to actually contain the security controls within those machines and across these machines from an enterprise perspective. So we're going to see more solutions proliferate in this area and to try to solve some of the management issues, as well as the security issues, but we're a long ways away from that.
Gerty: Big data, by itself, isn't magical. It doesn't have the answers just by being big. If you need more, you need to pry deeper into it. That's the example. They realized early enough that they were able to make something good.
Gardner: Jim Hietala, any thoughts about examples that illustrate where we're going and why this is so important?
Hietala: Being a security guy, I tend to talk about scare stories, horror stories. One example from last year that struck me. One of the major retailers here in the U.S. hit the news for having predicted, through customer purchase behavior, when people were pregnant.
They could look and see, based upon buying 20 things, that if you're buying 15 of these and your purchase behavior has changed, they can tell that. The privacy implications to that are somewhat concerning.
An example was that this retailer was sending out coupons related to somebody being pregnant. The teenage girl, who was pregnant hadn't told her family yet. The father found it. There was alarm in the household and at the local retailer store, when the father went and confronted them.
Privacy implications
There are privacy implications from the use of big data. When you get powerful new technology in marketing people's hands, things sometimes go awry. So I'd throw that out just as a cautionary tale that there is that aspect to this. When you can see across people's buying transactions, things like that, there are privacy considerations that we'll have to think about, and that we really need to think about as an industry and a society.

Kiwi songstress Kimbra has taken home a second Grammy Award for her part in Gotye's Somebody That I Used To Know.
After winning already Best Alternative Music Album and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance in the pre-televised ceremony today, Australia-based artist Wally 'Gotye' de Backer, also scored in the Best Record Of The Year category.
Another Kiwi up for a Grammy had to go home empty handed. Bret McKenzie's Oscar winning song Man or Muppet, from The Muppets movie, was nominated for best song written for visual media, but was pipped by T-Bone Burnett and Taylor Swift's Safe and Sound, written for The Hunger Games.
In accepting the Record of the Year prize from Prince, Gotye admitted being lost for words as The Purple One had inspired him to make music in the first place. Ever humble, Gotye said he felt ''undeserving'' and paid tribute to ''everyone who makes music and people who listen to music'' all over the world.
Gotye earlier revealed that Kimbra wasn't his first, or even his second, choice for the song. The artist had already gone through two female singers for the track and was waiting on another vocalist when ''she called out.''
''I built so much expectation with that vocalist that I was feeling a little crushed,'' he said backstage after collecting the Grammy.
It came down to Kimbra to sing on the song that was recorded in her apartment. It was last year's biggest hit. As for the unnamed singer, Gotye said she makes wonderful music on her own and ''shouldn't be mad.''

I Dream of Unity, A Poem by an 8th Grader
where the people live in harmony
I dream of unity
a valley between
the oceans of blue,
and the grasses of green.
where the people live in harmony
never dreading the dark
where little children's eyes
still hold
that spark.
wars never start,
peace never ends
people are happy
not breaking trend
free of threat,
free of vice
where all good things
always happen twice
but this world can't happen
no one knows why
because this is the real world
where the innocent die.
(c) Nadine Al Huneidi- [8th Grade]

NHTSA — Structure: Frame And Members: Underbody Shields Problems
CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2003 Chevy Astro Van has a solid reputation with very low complaint rates. The only problem now is finding one with low miles.
Not only is the 2003 Astro Van reliable, but since they were built on a truck powertrain, they can tow 5,500/5,000 lbs (RWD/AWD) -- almost double what other minivans can.
The Chevy Astro is mechanically identical to the GMC Safari.

3 Key Reasons Why Religious Right Leaders Are So Angry
What's worse from their perspective, is the situation is more than just the fact these "kids" aren't interested in leading the next generation of the religious right, but that they've actually switched sides. While conservative leaders were stuck in the old culture wars, those of us in progressive/emergent Christianity happily welcomed these kids into our fold (and gave them a few books to read). Today, these "kids" now make up a core block of the opposition to the very movement they were once destined to lead. [Read more…]

My name is Abigail and I got started raising the wyandotte because of my love for animal husbandry. I have always had a passion for raising animals and, after moving to a small farm, I fell in love with livestock. It all started out with a few old hens from a farmers auction my dad had purchased. As my fascination for poultry grew my research and involvement did as well. After I attended my first local county fair everything snowballed from there. I currently travel to 5 different states for shows and have met people all over the world who enjoy poultry as much as I do. As I have traveled and talked with others there were many questions I was asked about wyandottes that even I didn't know. As the questions piled up I decided to dig for answers. I had to travel far and wide and speak to a vast amount of people to collect the knowledge I have now. One thing I have found is most poultry info is passed down the old fashioned way, through word of mouth. As the gathering continued I decided to start putting the information into illustrations and words. Combining visual and textual interpretation for an easier understanding of a subject some are completely foreign too. On top of making an informational book I also wanted it to be beautiful. Something not just to look at for information but also to treasure and remind the viewer how stunning chickens are. Each chapter will have a description of what will be discussed with a unique illustration highlighting the ideal described. Each ideal will also have at disqualifying illustrations so you can compare the ideal versus defective characteristics.

Do you wish to transform the look of your entire home or you simply want to change its ambiance?
There are lots of great reasons why a home renovation is worth the hassle. More than anything, a home makeover will enhance your home's comfort, aesthetics, and value.
The benefits of home improvement projects are too alluring to pass up on. Yet once renovation begins, problems will start pouring in.
These top three tips are going to help ease your burden when preparing for a home renovation project – whether big or small.
- Have a detailed yet flexible renovation timeline.
Experienced builders and contractors agree that the best time to renovate a home, be it minor or major, is during the warm months. (It's from December until February in Tasmania.) This is a good rule to follow under perfect circumstances. But if your bathroom or kitchen has leaking issues that need quick fixes now, you can't afford to put them off.
This is not an excuse to skip research and ignore finances. Instead it should compel you to make a quick and smart decision, without skipping every crucial step in the preparation.
Another good thing about having a schedule is that it helps you plan for disruptions. For instance, you will need to book hotel stay in advance in case you need to leave the house while renovation is under way.
- Get a clear picture of what you want and need.
Collect images to show what type of material or design you want done. This will make the builder, contractor or architect's job easy and your explanation crystal. Take note of alternatives in the event the supplies you need or like are not available or are too expensive.
Listing your wants and needs side by side would also help you adjust your plans if you encounter some budget problems along the way. It's important to know the scope or type of renovation you can manage and afford:
- A refresh involves clean-up of a dirty, smelly property with the anticipated benefit of increase in rent or home value.
- A repair covers fixing of issues in some areas in your property. You'd need to invest in a toolbox for this if you're planning DIY work. This type of renovation boosts the appearance and atmosphere around your home.
- A rejuvenate involves specific target areas for renovation: a refresh of the bathroom, new carpet or flooring, new window awnings, etc.
- A restructure is the most expensive of all types of renovation because it implies major structural changes in your home. It may also need some council process to confirm if it's up to standards. You may need more than just a builder for these renovation efforts.
- Take control of the budget by getting estimates from at least three trusted vendors (ie. builders, contractors, etc.).
A trip to the home depot may not give you a good estimate of the cost of the home renovation project. But requesting quotes from tradesmen in your area would.
Before you look them up on general directories, speak to your neighbours who have done similar renovations. Ask them about the challenges, budget range, and the trusted vendors in your area. Then contact these professionals and ask as many relevant questions as possible.
Below are some common questions you may include:
- Can you show us your previous home renovation projects?
- Would you give us names of your past clients as references?
- Can you give walk us through your renovation process? Cite typical scenarios.
Do you feel more confident now about your renovation plans? Don't forget to share with us your renovation stories and concerns at the comment section.

Using the Maxim7219 with Arduino
A few weeks ago I setup my Arduino to power a simple single digit 7 segment LED array. It took lots of pins from the Arduino (one per segment) to power it. Nice simple setup but I knew it would never work for powering more than a single 7-segment digit. I found the Maxim 7219 which is a chip designed specifically to drive LED arrays. It's really a neat device (although a bit expensive). I decided I'd pick up some 7291's from Jameco (I often switch between them and Digi-Key) and picked up a few of thier 4 digit 7-segment LED arrays (common cathode) as well to test the IC out. You'll definitely want to take a look here which outlines the library used, basic schematic and the really important calculation of the RSet value. I've included a demo sketch, high-res pictures and the Maxim 7219 datasheet in the ZIP file below.
The Hall Effect…
I got an order in from Jameco yesterday and inside found a long awaited sensor! I had ordered a couple of the Allegro linear hall effect sensors. These are different than the others I purchased from SparkFun.com, they are not latching sensors but measure the magnetic force applied which is more of what I was looking for. I wanted something that I could use as a proximity switch and this worked out much nicer. They are a breeze to use and even more fun to play with than I had imagined. I've included some high res pictures and the Arduino code I used to test the sensor with below. I do have a proto shield from AdaFruit that I use and it has a green and red LED onboard, but you can easily hook up a couple of LEDs (don't forget your resistors). I'll be using this in a bigger project soon...
Controlling a servo with a TV remote using Arduino!
I decided today after I got home from work, I'd try to get my next quick project done. I wanted to control a hobby servo using a standard TV remote. I had a RadioShack IR receiver (Part No. 276-640) already as well as a standard hobby servo.
I quickly hooked things up. 10k resistor between the PWM pin on the Arduino and the servo sensor wire. 200ohm resistor between the digial pin on the Arduino and the output of the IR reciever. Hooked up my 5v to both and grounds and I was done.
I found some sample code as referenced in the Ardunio code below and modified it to find out what codes my remote was outputting for different keys. I decided I'd have it move the servo left and right using the left and right arrow keys on the remote and then center it at 90 degrees when the "OK" button was pushed. I also output the keypresses to the serial port to verify movement...
Worked like a charm! Amazing how simple tasks like this are with such a great community of folks posting example code and a wonderous board like the Ardunio!
Hi resolution pictures and the Ardunio code can be found in the attached ZIP file.
Anyone for some homemade butter?
Yup, that's right! My wife had been reading some cool crafty blogs and I am always up for learning about something new so I got involved. We headed out to JoBeth to find a book that all the online blogs say is a must-have for DIY cheese and butter making (they had it, much to my surprise)! It's called the Home Creamery and it's a fantastic book to get you started making your own cheeses and butters!
It was sooo easy and far better tasting than store-bought butter. I even had Natalie cut some fresh chives from the garden and I added that with some garlic powder to make a more savory butter! Fantastic stuff!
Whole whipping cream getting smooth now!
Right Before the butter starts to form!
Ah, time for some elbow grease!
Getting rid of the remaining buttermilk.
Salted and ready!
Digital Temperature with the Arduino
I was waiting on an order I had placed with Tayda Electronics (they rock) for my One-Wire temperature sensors.
If you haven't heard of One-Wire or these particular sensors you need to check them out. They are made by Dallas Semiconductors and they are amazing. They are a bit $$, which is why I opted to have them shiped from the philipeans directly. I got them for $1.60/each as opposed to ~$5.00/each from any of the domestic online retailers. The shipping only took ~8 days and the shipping was only ~$4.00. Can't beat that huh?
Anyhow, I got them in and wanted to see them in action, so I threw together a quick circuit which reads the temp and displays it on a LCD screen I had laying around (got it here). The end result is a quite nice and very accurate thermometer! I've posted my code and some high-res pics in the attached ZIP file below if you are intrested. Get your LCD working as outlined in the adafruit document and then hook up the one-wire sensor.
Squeeky Clean In No Time…
A few months ago, Natalie started playing around with making her own lotion bars. While she was researching, she came across numerous folks blogging about making them but also making soap. It's something we were both interested in since we started going to the farmer's market downtown. The old-fashion soap was simple, far longer lasting and had no nasty chemicals in it, we loved the several bars we purchased. The problem is, it's quite expensive compared to the Irish Spring you can pick up at any China-Mart. We figured it had to be cheaper to make it ourselves and the knowledge of how to do so would be priceless. Becoming more self-sufficient is something we both feel can't hurt.
This week-end was our first attempt at soap making. We had purchased the lye online with some other essential oils and dyes here. We decided very early on we'd use the Cold Process method of making soap as it yielded a very hard soap that lasted longer and was just more similar to how my grandmother had made her lard-lye soap.
As you can see, we made two batches of soap. One for me (the red bar) and one for Natalie (the brown and yellow) one. Mine was scented with a Karma knock-off (from lush) and Natalie decided on Oatmeal, Milk and Honey. They both smelled fantastic and turned out better than expected. We are going to attempt to make a cinnamon scented batch tomorrow to prepare for the gift-giving season ahead.... (and yes, I did make the wooden molds and wire cutting block). More pictures below of our first attempt...

Researchers from Sweden's Royal Institute of Technology and California's Stanford University are working on creating wooden batteries made with a special lightweight and porous aerogel-type material. This material resembles the kind of foam you'd see in a mattress although it's harder.
The material was then treated with electrically conductive ink, allowing it to maintain an electrical charge. Its three-dimensional shape allows it store more power in less space than a regular battery, which uses two-dimensional coils.
These squishy wooden batteries could have a wide range of applications. They could be used in pretty much any and every kind of flexible electronics as well as smart fabrics and electric cars. Ultimately, they would enable more efficient and convenient use of electronic devices.

A paraphrase of a spontaneous prayer I prayed yesterday in front of the Marian votive candles.
Blessed Mary, you appeared to St. Juan Diego as the Virgin of Guadalupe on the hill of Tepeyac. Look upon my barren and wintry hill of a heart and cause sweet roses of love to bloom. Help me to gather them up and by doing so, imprint your image into my very being, so that I may point others to Jesus Christ through you. Amen.

went out with no. 3 tonight. idk why but it suddenly felt like forever since I enjoyed this ease and comfort and depth of sharing. so thankful for his honesty and his friendship. I thought we lost it over an incident a few week back. I thought I couldn't lean on him but well, we all need a space to grow. And I guess, this was a season of growing for the both of us, and I am so glad that we still have what we have. And I hope we will always have what we have – naive, I know. But what's the point of all these if there isn't even something to work towards and strive for? Thanks for really being in my church and my community during these times. 🙂
Today was kinda special for many other reasons and I wish to remember every bit of it.
Thanks for heading down to Innisfree (yeah, a shop full of ladies) to buy my facial wash, and no thanks for complaining that my wash is expensive – because it is not. I know how you really hate such things, but you did it for me anyway – really appreciate you saving me a trip down, hahaha.
Thanks for making fun of my kiddy-ness and my new velcro shoes. I love how you are so uniquely you even when you are making fun of me – please don't ever change this, it's very infuriating to do all that arguing with you over my absolute grown-up-ness but also very entertaining at the same time. =D
Thanks for listening to all my stupid stories about weddings and life.
Thanks for showing interest in the work of the Kingdom and all your encouragements in helping me be a meaningful part of it. You do a lot more than you think you do, which is okay, haha.
Thanks for accepting me over and over again – with all those flaws.
The pleasure is mine. 🙂

Do Arbor Vitae clippings work well for general mulch?
Are they acidic in the same way that pine needles are?
Thanks, Pete
Arbor Vitae Clippings for Mulch
Do Arbor Vitae clippings work well for general mulch?
Hi Pete, Welcome to DG. I hope these links answer your questions.
I do know that wood chips and bark from Arbor vitae are used as mulch.
I found this article on using AV needles/scale. It states that they are acidic, but need to be aged a season.
Hi and thank you for the links. That is quite interesting how they need to be aged.
You are most welcome. I was surprised by that also...usually it is with green stuff like grass trimmings that you want to age it to prevent nitrogen loss...who'da thunk AV needles need to lose their coating?

Centre for Rural Technology (CRT/N) in coordination with Alternative Energy Promotion Centre (AEPC) and the World Bank (WB) Jointly Call for Product Development
The Government of Nepal announced in 2013 of its plan of "Clean Cooking Solutions for All" (CCS4ALL) by 2017. For this purpose, Alternative Energy Promotion Centre (AEPC) has formed a dedicated unit with a joint multi-stakeholder platform. Prior to this, AEPC executed Energy Sector Assistance Program, ESAP (1999-2012) whereas post 2012 till 2017, National Rural & Renewable Energy Programme (NRREP) through Biomass Energy Subcomponent is being carried out. Major achievements in this initiative have been the installation of one million plus Improved Cookstoves (ICS) /Institutional ICS/Metallic ICS along with 11,000 trained Stove Masters whereas after the announcement of CS4ALL the ICS installation rate rose from 50,000 per year to 0.2 million per year. ICS installation in 2014/15 alone were 0.3 million. Furthermore, Nepal Alliance for Clean Cookstoves (NACC) has been established for effective coordination and synergy towards CCS4ALL.
NRREP is a single window program (2012-17) administered by the Alternate Energy Promotion Center (AEPC) and supported by the Government of Nepal and external development partners. Developing Improved Solutions for Cooking (DISC) is a technical assistance program, which is implemented by the World Bank with Energy Sector Management Assistance Program (ESMAP) funding under the country action track of SE4All initiative. The objectives of DISC are (i) to complement and strengthen the NRREP initiatives in clean cooking sector and (ii) collaborating with Government of Nepal and relevant stakeholders, to develop an 'Investment Prospectus' for the clean cooking sector under the aegis of SE4All country action framework. Ministry of Environment, Science and Technology (MoEST) is a focal agency for the Energy Access Coordination Group at the NPC and AEPC is its secretariat.
Under the DISC initiative "Product Development and Labelling of Clean Cookstoves and Standardized Biomass Fuels for Nepali Market" is a project undertaken by CRT/N with support from the World Bank. The call for product development is intended to invite all stoves manufacturers, designers, implementers: individuals or organizations for further development of their products to be able to meet the national requirements and be listed in the Stoves Inventory/Repository.
